Has density solved Hong Kong's housing affordability problem? How about Paris or Tokyo?
Why is a significantly less dense city such as Jacksonville, FL so much less expensive?
- sotojuan 10y agoThe simple answer is that no one wants to live there.
- saosebastiao 10y agoTokyo is one of the most affordable cities in the first world. They also allow pretty much any development that passes through their very liberal zoning code. Hong Kong and Paris have significant restrictions on development (Hong Kong on where you can build, Paris on how high), and would likely be much more affordable if they were lifted.
